The Holy
Qur'an is the
Word of Allah
THE HELIO-CENTRIC SYSTEM
He created the heavens and the Earth with truth. He wraps the night around
the day and wraps the day around the night, and has made the Sun and Moon subservient, each one running for a specified term. Is He not indeed
the Almighty, the Endlessly Forgiving? ( Surat az-Zumar, 5)
( Surat az-Zumar, 5)
( Surat az-Zumar, 5)
( Surat az-Zumar, 5)
( Surat az-Zumar, 5) آفرید؛ بحّق� را زمین و آسمانهارا روز و می‌پیچد روز بر را شب
را ماه و خورشید و شب؛ برداد؛ قرار خویش فرمان مسّخ�ر
به �نی معی سرآمد تا کدام هرآگاه می‌دهند؛ ادامه خود حرکت
آمرزنده و قادر او که باشید!است
THE HELIO-CENTRIC SYSTE
In the above verse the movement of the Earth is described by the word
“yukawwiru,” which comes from root verb “takwir,” meaning “to cover up a spherical body,” in the way that the
rotation of the Earth gives rise to night and day, like the winding of a turban.
THE HELIO-CENTRIC SYSTEM
(Surah Ya Sin, 38-40)
(Surah Ya Sin, 38-40)And the Sun runs to its resting place. That is the decree of the
Almighty, the All-Knowing. And We have decreed set phases for the
Moon, until it ends up looking like an old palm spathe. It is not for the Sun
to overtake the Moon nor for the night to outstrip the day; each one is
swimming in a sphere. (Surah Ya Sin, 38-40)
`
(Surah Ya Sin, 38)
(Surah Ya Sin, 38)
`
(Surah Ya Sin, 39)
(Surah Ya Sin, 39)
Sahih InternationalAnd the moon - We have determined for it phases, until it returns [appearing] like the old date stalk.
Muhsin KhanAnd the moon, We have measured for it mansions (to traverse) till it returns like the old dried curved date
stalk. Farsi
این ( که هنگامی و دادیم، قرار منزلگاه‌هایی ماه برای و « ( کهنه شاخه بصورت سرانجام کرد طی را منازل
» می‌آید در خرما رنگ زرد و .قوسیشکل
(Surah Ya Sin, 39)
`
(Surah Ya Sin, 40)
(Surah Ya Sin, 40)
Sahih InternationalIt is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in
an orbit, is swimming.Muhsin Khan
It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day. They all float,
each in an orbit.بر شب نه و رسد، ماه به که سزاست را خورشید نه
شناورند خود مسیر در کدام هر و می‌گیرد؛ پیشی .روز
THE HELIO-CENTRIC SYSTEM
The movements of the Sun and Moon in verse 40 of Surah Ya Sin are described by the Arabic word "yasbahoona," meaning “flowing, passing or swimming.”
This word refers to an action performed by someone on their own. Someone acting according to this verb continues to perform it alone, with no intervention from anyone else.
